At this time, all four gates of the capital were opened. Jiang Zuoxiang ordered everyone to come and go as they pleased, and Jiang Zuoxiang also submitted a confession to the court.
"It's all my fault. The Queen is so cruel that she killed every piece of the Jiang family for a personal grudge. I'm not young anymore and can't do anything anymore. As long as the court is willing to punish me, I will
I am willing to die to apologize in exchange for the court’s forgiveness.”
Jiang Zuoxiang stood at the gate of the city with an awe-inspiring look, which immediately attracted the sympathy of many people.
"Xiang Zuoxiang also has good intentions. The queen is indeed a petty person. She had a bad reputation in the capital back then."
"Hey, if there is a way to survive, who can do this?"
The people began to excuse Jiang Zuoxiang one after another.
"The capital has been stolen, there is a shortage of rice and grain, and the capital is surrounded by people. The court wants to starve us to death. I can't protect you anymore. Now I can only let you innocent people go."
Jiang Zuoxiang gave everyone a purse containing a few taels of silver and some dry food and cakes.
"The capital is really too dangerous. No one knows when it will collapse again. You should leave quickly." Jiang Zuoxiang once again advised earnestly.
The closest place is Yangcheng, which is only a few dozen miles away, and this is the first place everyone wants to go.
"Then let's go to Yangcheng. I happen to have relatives in Yangcheng."
"That's fine."
Some people were aimless and followed the trend of the large army towards Yangcheng. Jiang Zuoxiang stood on the city wall and watched this scene without any anxiety.
Prince Qing on the side frowned: "Can these people leave the city smoothly?"
"They are all ordinary people who are old, weak, sick, and disabled. They are all Lingyi's subjects. The Queen has no reason to obstruct them."
Jiang Zuoxiang laughed a little crazily, waiting for all these people to disperse. As long as more than half of them had eaten dry food, they would be poisoned and lose their minds within half a day.
Prince Qing pursed his lips tightly, unable to tell what was wrong.
Soon these people invited each other to walk outside the city. When they passed a small forest, they saw countless archers aiming at them.
The people were stunned.
"What's going on?"
"We are common people from the capital, going to seek refuge with relatives." Someone shouted, and as soon as he took a step forward, an arrow shot directly at the man.
In an instant, the person who fell to the ground covered his heart, kicked his legs and died immediately.
"Killed?"
"The imperial court killed someone!"
A group of people were a little panicked, and at the same time there were countless angry people. They were all innocent people!
At the same time, Jiang Han took out the imperial edict: "The emperor has an edict that no one is allowed to leave the capital during special periods. Those who trespass will be killed without mercy. Those who break in forcefully will be punished by the three tribes. Those who instigate it will be punished by the nine tribes!"
After the words fell, all the people were dumbfounded and looked at Jiang Han in disbelief, but no one dared to move forward.
They looked at each other and kept backing away.
Some brave people raised their voices and asked: "Why doesn't the emperor allow us to leave? What on earth did we do wrong, and why did we shoot innocent people?"
"Yeah, give me an explanation."
There were civilians disguised as guards hidden in the crowd, and they deliberately provoked trouble. When Jiang Han saw this, he picked up his bow and arrow and shot the person who spoke directly.
With a puff, an arrow pierced the heart.
This arrow directly shocked everyone present. Jiang Han said with a livid face: "Return to the capital quickly!"
When everyone saw this, especially the timid ones, they turned around and ran away, while others also retreated.
